The Courso nnd the Meiuurcn. Tlie central org mi of the Locofocos of Oliio, edited by a man whose recklessness in the pursuit of Ins own interest, stops not lo consider tlie ell cot of his course upon the honor of the stnte or the welfare of individuals, bul who strides over both w.thlho rude boldness of an absolute monarch, has issued its mniidatc to I lie people of Hamilton county, in which ii pointed out lo them (he court they are to pursue at the coming election, in order lo nulltfy once more, the laws of the late, and trample on tho coiniiiution. Were that provisional government of winch lie it the head, in lull operation, ami holding the reins of the Mate, it illicit still be looked upon at no slight assumption in a, republican land, for the executive lo issuo hit proclamation annulling an unrepealed law of a constitutional Legislature ; bul the impertinent becomes still mure intense, when, reduced lo his real dimensions, this ninchinalor of mischief appears only as one distinguished tor an imagination prurient of evil, and a heart hardened tu every consideration but thai of his own ambition, Tim Sheriff of Hamilton county lint issued hit proclamation, under the law, for tlie election of a Senator and two Representatives, " in and fur the first district of Hamilton county." Upon this the head of the Provisional government takes the mailer into hit own hand, tellies the legal questions with a lluency and perspicuity unknown to republican tribunals, and lays down the law in a tone and maimer which tayt ns plain at words can say it: 1 must be obeyed. He ayt "Mr. Cooper will find that lie is "too late." The only body having Hie power under the Constitution, to judge of the election, returns mid qualifications ol tlie member, have decided, in the cum? of Pngh and Pierce, that counties cannot be divided lor Ihe election of members of the Legislature, and as tlie Con dilution says ihe same (lung, wlnggery, and Ihe Slier iff it elect id by a coalition, will find tint that portion of his proclamation which speaks of 1st tnd 'Jnd dis trims, is bul verbugc mere words put in lo In I til the letter ol ill" contrncl, wiltiotit any bind in ell'ect." If in such a case, there were any necessity to answer a fool according to Ins folly, it might be said, that that tame Constitution, which conferred upon the last Legislature of Ohm the power to be the jude of the qualifications and elections of its members, will, tu long as il exists, give lo every succeeding (ieneral Assembly the tame power, uncrippled and uurestriclid by the acts of any preceding Legislative body, whatever they may be. Tci attempt to torture Ihe frauds of the lust reign of disorder and anarchy, into precedents, is bad enough ; but to claim, that by their means, not merely a legal question was settled, but a provision of the Constitution was set aside, is going too tar into the re gionsof pure absurdity, and committing an unnatural crime upon ihe common tenso of every man whose intellect it above the grade of idiocy. JIu I these indications of (he central organ of Loco-foeotsm, are not without an alarming signilicanr. iu the people of the Htale. This quc'n, which hat once nearly involved the people of Ohio in a civd wir, till eiists, and the same meusures of force, once concerted to i'st'tblih Loeoloco supremacy, are again threatened to be resorted to. We say that they are tlirenlened threatened openly in ill" public assent bliesol the L c-fcos thundered m the ears of the peaceful people of the Slate, and that, too, by men who speak by authority by men whose standing and position is such, that their words are entitled to con sideration as indicating what are to be the measures by which the party intends to carry out its designs. On Saturday, the Ui ium , at a convention holdeu in Hummit county, ihe Hon. II. 1. Hpaiilding, one of the Jodjjes of the Supremo Court of the Bute, left his eat nu the bench, to deliver an inflammatory harangue to the assembly. He said : 'lle wanted tosee the Whigs put down. He want rd to see their vile am-Tlioniiienl repealed. Jtlooil yes, blood would llw through the Legislative Halls before he would permit the Wing members I rout I'm cinuati to taku their seats !'' This is thtt man who one came to tint city, to aid in carrying forward a forcible revolution, and so sau guinc wst he, at that time, of success, that, when he took hit seat it chairman of an insurrectionary body, lie declared that the revolution had already begun. We are in the midnt of a revolution. Tint con venliun it Ihe convention of a revolution," said tins individual, who, as a reward for Ins services, was ex alted to Ihe dimly he now holds, and is enabled with till higher authenticity to give to the public the mean tug of that term " llrrolutin," which lie employed with to much force. It means ni.onn at.oou It flow through Ihe legislative halls of the State tlie biuud vf ctrurtif, shed by the hinds of their fi llow citneua. And when the blood shall have been shed, and its stream hs flowed through and sullied the Legislative lulls of the State when men, id the heat of a partisan contest, shall have placed the mark of Cam upon their brows, and imprinted its burning seal upon their consciences when the contest has enme and ended, the victims, cold in death, have been borne from the eene of combat, and an indelible slain hat Iteeii imprinted upon toe history of the State, let ut inquire; What great result hat been achieved what principle hat been furthered, what benefit has been pcrp -tiuled ? Pro-Shivery Tendencies ol Lucolucoism. "Everywhere m the Krr Stjies, except in counties nheru Free Sul is dominant, lint old l)emocrnry are becoming more and mure pro-slavery "LUitiund Tru ihmoerat. Our Free Soil brethren, whw disposition to con tort with the old line of Loclocoism in the Stale, has Wen so intense, may surely b trusted, when lin y testify at to the tendencies uf those With whom (hey have been on terms to intimate j and we only put the above declaration upon record, lo exhibit to Free Soil men themselves, a portrait drawn by their own organ, of that pirty with which they have been to desirous to form a more perfect union. Such an union the ed itor of llio l rue Uemocrat knows by experience, can only be consummated in those counliet where, is he terms il, " Free Soil is Jomimtni." There the free I uil tktorjf niav bu combined With Locolocn praelttt ; , and tint his iu severs! instances been done. Uut where Locofoeoiam is (fdimaunf, free toil can only con-' tort with it, upnn the principles of the U iltnnore resolutions pure, unmitigated Lonnfoooisut iu doctrine and practice H id Wings, who have teaedt d from their party, to form a third one in tho State, continued to act with it, tlit principles of free soil would have at this moment, been dominant iu almost every noun ty in Ohio, and we should have been presenting a solid mass of popular sentiment ngamit the extensinii of human servitude, such as under no uther imaginable form of organisation, Ohio can eve array.

The Statesman of yesterday publishes the procla mation of tlm commander of one of the government vessels, to the persons encamp.'d at Round Island, near Pascagoula, for no other purpose, as we cau tee, but to comment upon its literary faults. If it were n 't for tho infamy of the production, sayt Ihe profound critic and eminent scholar of the Statesman, "It would take rank ss the most ridiculous lhat ever issued from the pen of man, and bears inapt resemblance to certain editorials in the no- public. ' We noticed the proclamation several days since, ana thought it rather grandiloquent and nhaurd ; but as the profession of its author it rather warlike than litcnry, we felt as if ho slmuld nut bo subjected to the most rigid criticism. If wo were to compare it with any thing that has met our eye elsewhere, we should sny that it bears the most striking and remarkable retem bkticc to a certain article in tho Ohio Statesman, last February, giving an account of an interview be tween the editor of Hint piper and General Cast, but does not come within gun allot of that rigmarole, in absurdity. When the editor of the Hiatesman has a fil of criticism, we commend to his examination, hm own files. Ho will find things there, not merely un worthy the " pen of mail,' but such as would disgrace the pen of any other animal he can think of. Politlcnl Marriage Ceremonies We have been struck in rending tho accounts nf marriage ceremonies in various parts of the world with the aunloy between some of them, and those that have attended the late conjugations that have taken place, in some parts of Ohio, between the Loco and Free Democracies, For instance, how nicely does the conduct of the New Holland lover tolly with that of Lord Locufoco, in Lucas! The fair hrido might well remark that tho ceremony was " more curious than agreeable." lie fur it a girl is given to tier husband, hT two front teeth are knocked out. The lover then thrown a knn- L'aroo skin over her shoulder, suits in tier face several times, marks her with punted slnpaof different colors, irders her to march to Ins nut with fits provision nag ; if the does not march taut enough tu p leant) him he administers u few kicks by the way." In Congo also, the natives teem to have practised, from time immemorial, a custom, which hat been adopted pretty generally on the Reserve: " Thev take their wives for a year on trial, and if at the end of that time tliey are lalnfied, tho wedding it celebrated with a least ' Inclusive Telegraphic Despatches. Onr neighbor the Statesman, by some hoeus jioeut of his own, (he's n great malinger, any how,) gels now and Ihen an item of newt by telegraph, that does not come lo us. For instance, lie discovered, a few day a iuce, by the working uf tho wires, lhat the Vienna liazelte f'Oi'ncr Zeitung) it a Ithig paper. Yesterday, while wc got news from the big Salt Lake, ho received an item from tlie mlt licks a pi ice that wo lid not expect hnn to hear from until after election. Uut the funniest item was one that appeared iu the Statesman a few days ago. The tame despatch came tons, and wo were forced lo publish it, at nearly as we can recollect, ss follows : Stock in the Mormon Mining Association is telling at $'IU per share," Our neighbor gnvo it ill the followiog terms we quote from memory : ' Tlio Mormon Mining Association is selling thoes at $S per pair." Healing the " Bungtown Chronicle" all to pieces, and three davs ahead of all creation. Aukwnrd Questions. It is said that some of the ardent young democrats of this city, have proposed some knotty questions to Mr. George N'. Clark, the Locofoco nominee for Representative in Franklin and Delaware. It it asserted that so abstruse does lie find them, that lie has been constrained to apply to die editor of tlie Statesman, to know how he slnl! answer. We look forward to a rcul dispensation of political light, soon. Washington nud Morgan. Tim Whigs of the district composed of the counties of Washington and Morgan, have nominated George W. linker, as tlitir candidate for Senator. (1 was nominated by acclamation and without one dissenting voice, and his election is looked upon as sure. The Locofocos of lhat district have nominated Lemon Fouls, and ihe Statesman thinks that if he is sup. ported by" iirs uniiid rmee of the democrats," hit election is certain. In order to enable the Freo Democracy to be unittd, Mr. Fouls has published hybrid manifesto half Freo Hod and all Locofoco, in which fie lays lus bait with considerable skill, and no doubt expects to cntch a good many of the "foolish ones " From appearances however, we are constrain rd to think thai the wing candid-tie wilt take tlie Hark off the Locofoco Ijeuiun, and squeeze him some. Franklin Common Pirns The September term ol the Franklin Court of Com inou I'leas commenced its session this morning The Judges were all present, with most of the lawyers, but there appeared to be a very linn attendance nf jurors, witnesses and clients. The criminal calender is, we understand, very light The civil docket was called this morning, and a very largo proportion, indeed al-inostalluf the cases were, by oiiseut, continued. WUDNlvSDAY EVENING, September 11), 1H 10 Troubles with I rnnce. Tlie telegraphic despniahes lo day exhibit the ele-1 incuts of a misunderstanding between our government j and that ol Ihe " model " European, republic, which, taken in connection with the report that France has refused to receive our Minister, would tee in tu give rather a serious turn lo affairs. Wo do not, however, anticipate that a war will result from this disagreement. I'liis, it is impossible that either party can desire. If the two governments cannot associate in harmony, ! hey can let each other alone. There is no necessity i that, like bullies, they should fight, because they hap-! pen to get angry. The French Minister has doubtless acted like a fool. His predecessors have done so he-fire him, and he lini a precedent for hW impertinence. His government comes as near being no government at all, as any such machinery well can. The highest honor to which any nation can aspire, is to be a con servator of the peace of the world. That post we hope, will bo taken by our own. Singe Couch CtiNUalty In our paper of last evening, we announced the marriage of Mr. Smith of lirowi), lo 1ht daughter of our neighbor of the .Ohio Statesman. Al about 8 o'clock the bridal party set forth by stage coach for Cincinnati ; and at about 1 o'clock this morning, when about l.J miles this side of Vienna, Clark county, the coach containing the company was brought in collis ion with a heavily laden coach coming from Springfield, and wat upiethy which Mr. Kkmusd Hookkii, Stage Agent, received a severe injury in hit hip.

The Whigs so fir have made very good nominations for Ihe Legislature and in spite of all Ihe d'vuuoiis tlie fiictious which have sprung up to oppose tln-m, and tlie attempted union of Free Soilers and old lie. moeraey, there is a very fair premise lhat the W higs will have, tho Legislature. It is very manifest, tliat the parly tailed Free Democracy, Free Soil men, Liberty men, and all that, is rapidly losing ground, as a par'a. The union now attempted with the old Democracy, will do liltle else limn to drive Ihe Kiee Soil Democrats back. Hut few of the Free Soil Whigs are wilting to be in ado mcrchatidizu of, and sold ns cuttle in Ihe market, lleaides llu, there are t trge number of Democritls, who feel deeply ngrieved at nn attempt lo amalgamate ttiem with the Abolitionists. In line, there is discontent all round, with the doings last winter and the union of "lililil with 11 lack George." In "old Fairfield" we have the strongest resolution of the Democracy Against the repeal of Ihe Ulack Laws. Iu Seneca county, we have a large number of Democrats signing a protest agonist the election of Uri'ilin, the regularly nominated candidate for lhat county. Iu fad tlie old fashioneil Democracy cannot make up their minds to go for the " Free Democracy," and Ihero is racing and chaning in the camp Even in Lorain county, there is a regular Demoeratic candidate against Dr. Townnlifiid, who it unquestionably the legitimate I mice nf Free Democracy in Ohio. We must believe till we see Ihe refill us, that nearly all tlie counties of the Reserve will return sound Win git, as against either Deiuocrnt, or Free Sorter, who shall attempt to violate, or to wink at the violation of the law, in relation to tins county. It is tlie law, and nine tenths of (he people on the Reserve, are a law-abiding, law-revering people. If, then, the nominees of the Free Sorters uiuletlake to coalesce with Loeo-focoiHin, in a motiHtiout violation of the law of Ihe land, we truit and believe tho people of tho Reserve will give Ifiem a signal defeat.

We congratulate our friend of the Atlas, and the Wtiigs of tlie State generally, upon the improved as-H'cl ol the pond ng canvass. Hut this apparent improvement should not be permitted for a moment to induce sn intermission of vigilance and action on the part of any Whig in the Slate, We have a wary adversary in the field one who would rejoice iu lulling us into a fa I so security ; and the friends of order and the supremacy uf tho laws cannot he too thoroughly admonished of (lie responsibility relmg upon them, There is na safttij while a solitary Whig rote, remains unpolled. The Locofoco party it formidable for its numbers and not lens formidable for its uuscrupu- lousnessof iBM'insl'orlhe attainment of its end. Th history of that pirty for the last twelve months fur- niches innumerable instances of tint trait ofitijcliar-acter. There it indeed good prospect for Ihe W higs of the State, if they arc true to themselves, true to their principles, and true to each other ; but at a crisis like the present, no true Whig is warranted in absenting himself from the polls, or in any respect coming short of his whole duty. We are again threatened with the repetition of llie disgraceful scenes of last winter, when by a foul and corrupt coalition of unprincipled men, the sucredness of the laws was scouted at in the very halls of leginl iliou the Constitution openly contemn- d Ihe sacred right of suffrage, the boast nf freemen, contemptuously trilled with the chosen Representa lives of the people excluded from their scats, and mere squatters, the very refuse of Ihe popular suffrage, foit ted and maintained in llieir places ! These scenes are agiin appointed for re-enactment in the capitol of the State next December anJ the acton are even now engaged in rehearsing their parts! In view of this stale of alfurt, can any Whig ai.y good ciliien, of whatever name, be indifferent to the result of the com ing election ? Can any one feel that he hat dischar ged his whole duty to God, hit country, his neighbor and himself, until he has exhausted all the means placed in lus hands by lus M iker and tho Constitution, for vindicating the honor of the Slate, the majesty of her laws, and the quiet of her citizens r In an especial manner are the people of Hamilton county nailed upon in tho present juncture, to abide by the laws of tho State, and tee that they are properly enforced.

Correspondence of the Ohio Statu Journal. The Vimmaron Desert Spanish i'tukLas t'etrasand Santa t'c first Impressions Lharatttr of the .Vail re. Sakta Fa, Nkw ,M t:ico, August ihi:. Musstts. KuiTofta : The close of my last letter left ut al thu crossing ol the Arkansas. Wo here entered upon n barren, sandy region, extending away for seventy miles lo the Cimarron river. Fjr the first few mites, there it a stunted growth of wild tag, which affords hiding places for a gaunt, ghostly look, ing race of hues. But even tins scanty vegetation soon dies away, and for more Hum sixty mih sour road is over a desert, without grass or water, where there is uo life nothing but sand. This has ever been the most trying part of the journey, and so it wat in our case. The weitry miles were slowly passed, nud almost in silence. Tlie gloom that hung over ihe desert affected the spirits of our putty. Lven the drivers were more sparing in their curses, and seemed anxious to get beyond it; and when at last we saw tho green lulls rising in the distance, it seemed as if a load were suddenly removed from the mind of each. The conversation once more became animated, and all ea-gerly pressed onward. The Cimarron once passed, a pleasantrr country was before us. We here enter ed what had evidently been a volcanic region; nu merous mounds, the bases of which werecouitosed of old red sandstone, with huge ragged piles of basaltic rock upon the summit, were vinibie in every direction. On the sides of tome of the highest, there were streams of lava, grown cold m ages ptsl, and resembling a ra pid, foaming torrent, suddenly congealed. Between the lulls Ihere were pleasant little valleys, with, perhaps, a small stream winding through them, while Ihe lulls were covered with a great variety of rrfi, grow, ing in every fantastic shape, many of them with besu 111 ul yellow and scarlet flowers. The whole scene, to a resident of Ohio, was strange and pleasing. The sides of the mad were lined in many places with the scarlet reibtna, now iu full bloom, and filling the air with a delictous fragrance. About sixty miles from the Cimarron, we came in sight nf the Spanish Peaks, far oir to the right, llieir snow clad summits reach ng into the clouds. Wo traveled in siijht of the snow upon these mountains for more than a week, while we in the valley were suffering Irom heat. The general appearance of the country it the same as tint descriU-d, as far at Las Vegs, Tins being the first Mew Mexican (own on our road, we looked for ward to it with considerable curiosity. We had alt read the account of Gen. Kearney 'scipture of the ancient city of Las Vegas, without firing a gun, or lot ing a man. Our disappointment may bo imagined, when we arrived there, lo tee a few miserable mud hovels, placed without any regard to order, around an opening called the Plain. An American biick yard hears a more decided resemblance to a city, than this town uf Las Vegas. If the people of the United Slates could have teen the place, wh.le they read tho brilliant account of its subjection, 1 am a Irani they would have attached liltle importance to Ihe achievement. But 'tis not fur inn to criticise tho oilicial returns of the Army of the West." Gen. Kearney is dead, and " de morfwii, nil nisi bonum." After leav ing Lat Vegas, which is only seventy-five miles from Santa Fe, we entered a range of mountains, general ly following the bed of some mountain tin-am, or perhaps following ihe road, nt it wound along the side of a uiounlaiu, passing through several mud villages, until at last we reached Santa Fe. After passing through Las Vegas, and other towns, I wss prepared what lo expect in Santa Fe. It is a larger hnck ynid Ihnn the one first referred to, built with rather more regard to regularity. Ins.de of tho houses, there is quile an sppeauneo of comfort, though very little taste is displayed. Il has long been know n a a trading point, ind considerable business it done here, principally by Americans. The natives are indolent, ignorant aud dissolute. They are all gamblers, without r gard to age or sex, Monte being their favorite game. Gold is emphatically llieir god. They have no motives hut those of profit ; no springs of action but Ihose of self love ; no deaires but those u gaiu ; and no restraints but thote of force. Virtue, honesty, honor, piety, religion, patriotism, generosity, and rep. illation, to thriti are unmeaning terms. Vice, fraud, treachery, theft, plunder, and evrn murder and assassination, are common, in defiance uf law and order and so wedded are these miserable people lo the supercilious of Ihe Roman church, lhat it will be long, very long, before their conditiun can be Improved. It is evident to every thinking mind, that it will be equally long before they are capable of telf govern ment.

( Yours truly, H The Convontiou Provisions lor the Vote ol the People Will popular action be .of any avail under the resolution of the last General Assembly 1 In looking over the joint resolution of the General Assembly, which is intended to provide for taking the votes jf the electors of the State, upon the question of futute measures to niter the constitution, (which is to be found on page GGJ of the Senate journal,) it seems to us extremely doubtful whether the provisions of the present constitution have been, in that resolution, to far complied with, that any available action can be h id under it, The question is one of (lie construction of a law, or of a joint resolution having all the force, and subject to nil the rules of interpretation to which laws nre subject. It it one which has taken us by surprise, and not having at hand either authority or precedent, we do not intend our own hasty opinion, to bo lakou d llio rule of action of any man who desires to vote upon the question. One (lung it certain : Neither laws or joint resolutions confer any power by implication. If their intention is not clearly nnd unequivocally declared upon their face, no inference conferring force can be diawn from tho uecesssiiy of the case, or from aconjecturo of the probable intention of the legislator. It teems to ut, also, that where a law it framed, intended to give vitality to a constitutional provision, for the sake of certainty, the terms employed by the constitution should be strictly adhered lo, that a future action iu conformity thereto may be secured. . It appears, by the reading of (he joint resolution a copy of which we give below that it provides. fort, vote to be taken, not for or ngninsia convention, bul for or against a coNSTiTurioNa question certainly not intended by the General Assembly to ho presented, in this form, nud al this lime, to the people. " Hesahedy In the, (Jrncrat Assembly of thtt State of unto, iiwu-uiirns m uie uremiiers oi ucii Mouse ol thu General Assembly concurring therein,) That it it necessary to amend the Constitution of the Stale of Uliio; and we uo tiereuy recommend lo Ibu electors ut tlie next election fur members of the General Assembly, to rate, for or against a Constitution, agree-ably lo the provisions of the fifth section of the sev. enlh article of the Constitution, and the judges of e-lecttoiis, held within each and every lowimliip in this Slate, shall receive and transmit with the return of votes for members of the General Assembly, to Urn Clerks of tint Courts of Common Pleas within their respective counties, a statement of all volet given witliin their respective township, for and agniont a Convention.

The filth section nf the seventh article of tlio Constitution above referred to, provides as follows: "That after the year one thousand eight hundred nnd six, whenever two-thirds of the General Assembly shall think it necessary to amend nr change this constitution, they shall recommend to the electors, al Ihe next election for members to the General Asem. bly, to rote fur or against a Convention ; and if it shall appear thai a iniofily uf the citizens of Ihe Slate, vo. ting for Representatives, hive voted for a Convention, the Gt-iierul Assembly shall, at their next session, call a Convention.

ITT "The Saint oi'Sandy Hill Proclaims that hy-goues ahould be by gones still." It would seem that tho Barnburners of New York have made by-gones of their principles, as the thing they could dispose of with the least difficulty. Having always sat rather light upon them, they have been thrown off, with the ease of on outer garment, and the Hunkerism which before only appeared here and there through the vents, is now seen in the form of a full suit, tagged with oflico seeking, and turned up with Loco- focoism. The following resolutions, adopted by tho democratic convention held nt the Presbyterian church at uome, lorm the basis of the union : " llcsulcrd, That we aro opponerf to tho extension of slavery Ho the free territories of tho United States; but we do not regard the shivery question, in any form of its agitnlion, or nny opinion in relation thereto, at a lest of political fuiih, or at a rule of party action. Hetolced, Thnt the power of Congress over slavery in the territories, and Ihe particular modes of legislation thereon, are, among democrats, controverted questions ; and that wo concede to every one in relation thereto, the undisputed right of opinion, not regarding nny particular mode of constitutional construction on-Uus question, a part of the democratic creed, or as es-. sential lo fellowship with our democratic brethren, in this State, or in any section of the Union." Thus has Unrubiirucrisin in New York submitted to tho marital bufferings pf the lordly bridegroom, liko tho New Holland squaw, who meekly stands while her husband knocks out her teeth, spits in her face, clothes her n a Kangaroo skin, by way of derision, nud kicks her to his habitation. But it is the saint of Sandy Hill nnd his brave Barnburners who are to for get the by-gones Old Hunkerism remains true to its principles, and tho Albany Argus.'ils organ, pronounces the bridal benediction, in which it expatiates upon the suspicious character and tricksy tendencies of the' other party, in the foltowing sort : Insolence and threatened defeat, it will be seen, if these sketches of the speech " to close the debnle" lire correct, is the kind of "olive-branch" which tho jJujtL (.oolilion leader prolters in return lor the liberal and direct proposition of the democratic convention. While lie professes to nccepl that proportion, which expressly repudiates a Test, and while the democratic con. ventmn distinctly rejected the Proviso, the hopeful dis-solver of the democratic parly, who assumes the leadership in agitation and division, iniiittH that if the can. didates in nomination shall re luxe to subscribe to such Test, or sh ill not conform to Free Soilism " in llieir answers to such interrogatories as lie and his associates thai) choose to propound, they shall be beaten! Whether the decii) ing power ol mischief which a few of these nsiumed leaders have manifested, can execute their threat, is for lite decision of the future; bul we venture to predict thnt no Irue democrat, who rightly regards the democratic feeling nnd sentiment, or who sincerely desires the union of ihe democratic masses, will sn fur disregard the liberal and junl basis on which the democratic proportion for union and conciliation rests, ss to ndopt a course, or obey a dictum, iu distinct violation of its spirit and tc-rnit." The Locofoco Coalition In New York Old Hunkerism ami Barnburnerisin have agreed to bo friends, nnd lo make nn equitable distribution ol the marriage delicacies. Dickinson and Van Iluren hive met together, Cmswell and Butler have kissed each other. In the words of Urn Saint of Sandy Hill; " Sweet it tho carol of the early lark, As heavenward rising ho salutes the morn ;-Sweet it the music of church going bell, Which calls the early penitent to prayer; Sweet are the hymns which like soft incense rise To call down kindred blessings from above ; Sweet is the voice of prayer, at noon or eve, And sweet Ihe memories of Sandy Hill, When slated preaching first was there proclaimed ; But sweeter fur, and dearer fur to me, Are Locofocos bound in unity ; And sweeerfar than all of these combined, Arc spoils of office, to a pious mind."

U 'IVlcniph to the Ohio State Journal Dlfliriillies with the French Ambassador In-uniting communications by htm lo the Go Tornment His re cut requested and refused Ilia dismissal I PjTT9DUR.au, Qept ID. Editors Ohio State Journal ; J n ii k r YtH n c nt, the Washington correspondent o( the Philadelphia North American, spesking upon re liable authority of the existing difficulty between our Government and the French Minister, by telegraph from Washington, says: In february, M. V uus sin. the Fronch Minister, pre sented to Mr, Huchnnan, then Secretary of State, a ctairn in behalf of Mr. Porte, a Frenchman residing in Mexico, under the following circumstances: Porto-purchased a quantity of Tobacco told by the agents of llio army of the United States, knowing it to be private property, and not t object to tho rulet of war. The tobacco was afterwards taken by Cot. Childs, and restored to its owner, and the purchase money refund ed lo Porte. Under these circumstances a claim was et up, by the French Minister, for damages being &ie difference between the price at which il was pur ciiused by Porte, and that at which il was subsequent ly sold. A court of inquiry was holdeu, which, on henrpy, decided unanimously against the claim, which, decision was approved by (Jen. Stott Mr. Buchanan having gone out of office wilhoutex-nmining Ih case, it came before the present administration. Tho finding was re-affirmed by Mr. Clayton, Secretary of State, who, in answer to a note of M. Poussin, stated the verdict nf the court, and disapproval. M. Poussin rejoined, in an intemperate manner, charging Col. Childs, in effect, with perjury, and employing other language of insult. On the reception of his note, he was requested to return to Washington being then absent and on his arrival the opportti-ty was presented lo him to withdraw the offensive communication. He withdrew it, and expunged tho . offensive terms, and offered a renewal of the corres poudence, which was accepted. Subsequently M. Poussin presented another note, claiming (he punishment of Commander Carpenter, of the United Slates ship Iris, under Ihe following cir cuiiistancca , Com. Carpenter, while attached to tho blockading squadron, on the const of Mexico, wnt called upon by the captain of the French ship Eugenie, to rescue her from weck. He, with his crew, succeeded after much tabor, and nfterwardt requested the payment of the legal salvnge. This was refused ; whereupon Carpenter returned the vessel lo the cap-lain, after the had lain alongside the Iris for thirty hours. Mr. Clifford, U. S. Mmu rr to Mexico, approved of the conduct of Coin Carpenter. When this subject was submitted to Mr. Clayton, it was refer led tu Secretary Preston, who furnished Carpenter's state tnent of the fncts. Poussin, instead of referring to his government, wrote an insulting letter to the depart ment, in which ho reflected grossly upon llio character and honor of the American Marine. The President of the United Slates then directed the entire correspondence to be laid before the French Government, expecting immediate and voluntary re dress. Bul instead of atonement, M. De Tocqueville, the French .Minister of Foreign Affairs, attempted lo inculpate our government, snd to divide the blame As soon as this information wat received, the President ordered that no further correspondence should be held with M. Poussin, and that lus passports he placed at hit disposal. The foregoing are the facts nt the case, at ttnted by the reporter. Upon thetc he makes the following imperlineiilcoinmeutary, which he might as well have suppressed Lus. Jouknal : " 1 he future is shrouded m doubt. DeTocqueviHe, tho Minister of Foreign affairs, must resign. Poussin must be kicked aside. The r rench Government must apulogixeora repture must ensue. The Administration here, will not advance an inch or retract a word, and if France wishes a war, as there is good reason to suppose she does, the responsibility is on her shoul ders, j Ins case admits uf no diplomatic cobbling. It is a question of honor, in which tho United Slatet can not abandon itt high position. Raragea of the Cotton Worm. Ntw Orlxini, Sept. 17.

The Courso nnd the Meiuurcn. Tlie central org mi of the Locofocos of Oliio, edited by a man whose recklessness in the pursuit of Ins own interest, stops not lo consider tlie ell cot of his course upon the honor of the stnte or the welfare of individuals, bul who strides over both w.thlho rude boldness of an absolute monarch, has issued its mniidatc to I lie people of Hamilton county, in which ii pointed out lo them (he court they are to pursue at the coming election, in order lo nulltfy once more, the laws of the late, and trample on tho coiniiiution. Were that provisional government of winch lie it the head, in lull operation, ami holding the reins of the Mate, it illicit still be looked upon at no slight assumption in a, republican land, for the executive lo issuo hit proclamation annulling an unrepealed law of a constitutional Legislature ; bul the impertinent becomes still mure intense, when, reduced lo his real dimensions, this ninchinalor of mischief appears only as one distinguished tor an imagination prurient of evil, and a heart hardened tu every consideration but thai of his own ambition, Tim Sheriff of Hamilton county lint issued hit proclamation, under the law, for tlie election of a Senator and two Representatives, " in and fur the first district of Hamilton county." Upon this the head of the Provisional government takes the mailer into hit own hand, tellies the legal questions with a lluency and perspicuity unknown to republican tribunals, and lays down the law in a tone and maimer which tayt ns plain at words can say it: 1 must be obeyed. He ayt "Mr. Cooper will find that lie is "too late." The only body having Hie power under the Constitution, to judge of the election, returns mid qualifications ol tlie member, have decided, in the cum? of Pngh and Pierce, that counties cannot be divided lor Ihe election of members of the Legislature, and as tlie Con dilution says ihe same (lung, wlnggery, and Ihe Slier iff it elect id by a coalition, will find tint that portion of his proclamation which speaks of 1st tnd 'Jnd dis trims, is bul verbugc mere words put in lo In I til the letter ol ill" contrncl, wiltiotit any bind in ell'ect." If in such a case, there were any necessity to answer a fool according to Ins folly, it might be said, that that tame Constitution, which conferred upon the last Legislature of Ohm the power to be the jude of the qualifications and elections of its members, will, tu long as il exists, give lo every succeeding (ieneral Assembly the tame power, uncrippled and uurestriclid by the acts of any preceding Legislative body, whatever they may be. Tci attempt to torture Ihe frauds of the lust reign of disorder and anarchy, into precedents, is bad enough ; but to claim, that by their means, not merely a legal question was settled, but a provision of the Constitution was set aside, is going too tar into the re gionsof pure absurdity, and committing an unnatural crime upon ihe common tenso of every man whose intellect it above the grade of idiocy.

On Saturday, the Ui ium , at a convention holdeu in Hummit county, ihe Hon. II. 1.

The Statesman of yesterday publishes the procla mation of tlm commander of one of the government vessels, to the persons encamp.'d at Round Island, near Pascagoula, for no other purpose, as we cau tee, but to comment upon its literary faults. If it were n 't for tho infamy of the production, sayt Ihe profound critic and eminent scholar of the Statesman, "It would take rank ss the most ridiculous lhat ever issued from the pen of man, and bears inapt resemblance to certain editorials in the no- public. ' We noticed the proclamation several days since, ana thought it rather grandiloquent and nhaurd ; but as the profession of its author it rather warlike than litcnry, we felt as if ho slmuld nut bo subjected to the most rigid criticism. If wo were to compare it with any thing that has met our eye elsewhere, we should sny that it bears the most striking and remarkable retem bkticc to a certain article in tho Ohio Statesman, last February, giving an account of an interview be tween the editor of Hint piper and General Cast, but does not come within gun allot of that rigmarole, in absurdity. When the editor of the Hiatesman has a fil of criticism, we commend to his examination, hm own files. Ho will find things there, not merely un worthy the " pen of mail,' but such as would disgrace the pen of any other animal he can think of. Politlcnl Marriage Ceremonies We have been struck in rending tho accounts nf marriage ceremonies in various parts of the world with the aunloy between some of them, and those that have attended the late conjugations that have taken place, in some parts of Ohio, between the Loco and Free Democracies, For instance, how nicely does the conduct of the New Holland lover tolly with that of Lord Locufoco, in Lucas! The fair hrido might well remark that tho ceremony was " more curious than agreeable." lie fur it a girl is given to tier husband, hT two front teeth are knocked out.

We look forward to a rcul dispensation of political light, soon. Washington nud Morgan. Tim Whigs of the district composed of the counties of Washington and Morgan, have nominated George W. linker, as tlitir candidate for Senator. (1 was nominated by acclamation and without one dissenting voice, and his election is looked upon as sure. The Locofocos of lhat district have nominated Lemon Fouls, and ihe Statesman thinks that if he is sup. ported by" iirs uniiid rmee of the democrats," hit election is certain. In order to enable the Freo Democracy to be unittd, Mr. Fouls has published hybrid manifesto half Freo Hod and all Locofoco, in which fie lays lus bait with considerable skill, and no doubt expects to cntch a good many of the "foolish ones " From appearances however, we are constrain rd to think thai the wing candid-tie wilt take tlie Hark off the Locofoco Ijeuiun, and squeeze him some.

Tlie telegraphic despniahes lo day exhibit the ele-1 incuts of a misunderstanding between our government j and that ol Ihe " model " European, republic, which, taken in connection with the report that France has refused to receive our Minister, would tee in tu give rather a serious turn lo affairs. Wo do not, however, anticipate that a war will result from this disagreement. I'liis, it is impossible that either party can desire. If the two governments cannot associate in harmony, ! hey can let each other alone. There is no necessity i that, like bullies, they should fight, because they hap-! pen to get angry. The French Minister has doubtless acted like a fool. His predecessors have done so he-fire him, and he lini a precedent for hW impertinence. His government comes as near being no government at all, as any such machinery well can. The highest honor to which any nation can aspire, is to be a con servator of the peace of the world.

It is very manifest, tliat the parly tailed Free Democracy, Free Soil men, Liberty men, and all that, is rapidly losing ground, as a par'a. The union now attempted with the old Democracy, will do liltle else limn to drive Ihe Kiee Soil Democrats back. Hut few of the Free Soil Whigs are wilting to be in ado mcrchatidizu of, and sold ns cuttle in Ihe market, lleaides llu, there are t trge number of Democritls, who feel deeply ngrieved at nn attempt lo amalgamate ttiem with the Abolitionists. In line, there is discontent all round, with the doings last winter and the union of "lililil with 11 lack George."

KuiTofta : The close of my last letter left ut al thu crossing ol the Arkansas. Wo here entered upon n barren, sandy region, extending away for seventy miles lo the Cimarron river. Fjr the first few mites, there it a stunted growth of wild tag, which affords hiding places for a gaunt, ghostly look, ing race of hues. But even tins scanty vegetation soon dies away, and for more Hum sixty mih sour road is over a desert, without grass or water, where there is uo life nothing but sand. This has ever been the most trying part of the journey, and so it wat in our case. The weitry miles were slowly passed, nud almost in silence. Tlie gloom that hung over ihe desert affected the spirits of our putty. Lven the drivers were more sparing in their curses, and seemed anxious to get beyond it; and when at last we saw tho green lulls rising in the distance, it seemed as if a load were suddenly removed from the mind of each. The conversation once more became animated, and all ea-gerly pressed onward. The Cimarron once passed, a pleasantrr country was before us. We here enter ed what had evidently been a volcanic region; nu merous mounds, the bases of which werecouitosed of old red sandstone, with huge ragged piles of basaltic rock upon the summit, were vinibie in every direction. On the sides of tome of the highest, there were streams of lava, grown cold m ages ptsl, and resembling a ra pid, foaming torrent, suddenly congealed. Between the lulls Ihere were pleasant little valleys, with, perhaps, a small stream winding through them, while Ihe lulls were covered with a great variety of rrfi, grow, ing in every fantastic shape, many of them with besu 111 ul yellow and scarlet flowers. The whole scene, to a resident of Ohio, was strange and pleasing. The sides of the mad were lined in many places with the scarlet reibtna, now iu full bloom, and filling the air with a delictous fragrance. About sixty miles from the Cimarron, we came in sight nf the Spanish Peaks, far oir to the right, llieir snow clad summits reach ng into the clouds. Wo traveled in siijht of the snow upon these mountains for more than a week, while we in the valley were suffering Irom heat. The general appearance of the country it the same as tint descriU-d, as far at Las Vegs, Tins being the first Mew Mexican (own on our road, we looked for ward to it with considerable curiosity. We had alt read the account of Gen. Kearney 'scipture of the ancient city of Las Vegas, without firing a gun, or lot ing a man. Our disappointment may bo imagined, when we arrived there, lo tee a few miserable mud hovels, placed without any regard to order, around an opening called the Plain. An American biick yard hears a more decided resemblance to a city, than this town uf Las Vegas. If the people of the United Slates could have teen the place, wh.le they read tho brilliant account of its subjection, 1 am a Irani they would have attached liltle importance to Ihe achievement. But 'tis not fur inn to criticise tho oilicial returns of the Army of the West." Gen. Kearney is dead, and " de morfwii, nil nisi bonum." After leav ing Lat Vegas, which is only seventy-five miles from Santa Fe, we entered a range of mountains, general ly following the bed of some mountain tin-am, or perhaps following ihe road, nt it wound along the side of a uiounlaiu, passing through several mud villages, until at last we reached Santa Fe. After passing through Las Vegas, and other towns, I wss prepared what lo expect in Santa Fe. It is a larger hnck ynid Ihnn the one first referred to, built with rather more regard to regularity. Ins.de of tho houses, there is quile an sppeauneo of comfort, though very little taste is displayed.

They have no motives hut those of profit ; no springs of action but Ihose of self love ; no deaires but those u gaiu ; and no restraints but thote of force. Virtue, honesty, honor, piety, religion, patriotism, generosity, and rep. illation, to thriti are unmeaning terms. Vice, fraud, treachery, theft, plunder, and evrn murder and assassination, are common, in defiance uf law and order and so wedded are these miserable people lo the supercilious of Ihe Roman church, lhat it will be long, very long, before their conditiun can be Improved.

( Yours truly, H The Convontiou Provisions lor the Vote ol the People Will popular action be .of any avail under the resolution of the last General Assembly 1 In looking over the joint resolution of the General Assembly, which is intended to provide for taking the votes jf the electors of the State, upon the question of futute measures to niter the constitution, (which is to be found on page GGJ of the Senate journal,) it seems to us extremely doubtful whether the provisions of the present constitution have been, in that resolution, to far complied with, that any available action can be h id under it, The question is one of (lie construction of a law, or of a joint resolution having all the force, and subject to nil the rules of interpretation to which laws nre subject. It it one which has taken us by surprise, and not having at hand either authority or precedent, we do not intend our own hasty opinion, to bo lakou d llio rule of action of any man who desires to vote upon the question. One (lung it certain : Neither laws or joint resolutions confer any power by implication. If their intention is not clearly nnd unequivocally declared upon their face, no inference conferring force can be diawn from tho uecesssiiy of the case, or from aconjecturo of the probable intention of the legislator. It teems to ut, also, that where a law it framed, intended to give vitality to a constitutional provision, for the sake of certainty, the terms employed by the constitution should be strictly adhered lo, that a future action iu conformity thereto may be secured. .

ITT "The Saint oi'Sandy Hill Proclaims that hy-goues ahould be by gones still." It would seem that tho Barnburners of New York have made by-gones of their principles, as the thing they could dispose of with the least difficulty. Having always sat rather light upon them, they have been thrown off, with the ease of on outer garment, and the Hunkerism which before only appeared here and there through the vents, is now seen in the form of a full suit, tagged with oflico seeking, and turned up with Loco- focoism. The following resolutions, adopted by tho democratic convention held nt the Presbyterian church at uome, lorm the basis of the union : " llcsulcrd, That we aro opponerf to tho extension of slavery Ho the free territories of tho United States; but we do not regard the shivery question, in any form of its agitnlion, or nny opinion in relation thereto, at a lest of political fuiih, or at a rule of party action. Hetolced, Thnt the power of Congress over slavery in the territories, and Ihe particular modes of legislation thereon, are, among democrats, controverted questions ; and that wo concede to every one in relation thereto, the undisputed right of opinion, not regarding nny particular mode of constitutional construction on-Uus question, a part of the democratic creed, or as es-. sential lo fellowship with our democratic brethren, in this State, or in any section of the Union." Thus has Unrubiirucrisin in New York submitted to tho marital bufferings pf the lordly bridegroom, liko tho New Holland squaw, who meekly stands while her husband knocks out her teeth, spits in her face, clothes her n a Kangaroo skin, by way of derision, nud kicks her to his habitation. But it is the saint of Sandy Hill nnd his brave Barnburners who are to for get the by-gones Old Hunkerism remains true to its principles, and tho Albany Argus.'ils organ, pronounces the bridal benediction, in which it expatiates upon the suspicious character and tricksy tendencies of the' other party, in the foltowing sort : Insolence and threatened defeat, it will be seen, if these sketches of the speech " to close the debnle" lire correct, is the kind of "olive-branch" which tho jJujtL (.oolilion leader prolters in return lor the liberal and direct proposition of the democratic convention. While lie professes to nccepl that proportion, which expressly repudiates a Test, and while the democratic con. ventmn distinctly rejected the Proviso, the hopeful dis-solver of the democratic parly, who assumes the leadership in agitation and division, iniiittH that if the can. didates in nomination shall re luxe to subscribe to such Test, or sh ill not conform to Free Soilism " in llieir answers to such interrogatories as lie and his associates thai) choose to propound, they shall be beaten! Whether the decii) ing power ol mischief which a few of these nsiumed leaders have manifested, can execute their threat, is for lite decision of the future; bul we venture to predict thnt no Irue democrat, who rightly regards the democratic feeling nnd sentiment, or who sincerely desires the union of ihe democratic masses, will sn fur disregard the liberal and junl basis on which the democratic proportion for union and conciliation rests, ss to ndopt a course, or obey a dictum, iu distinct violation of its spirit and tc-rnit." The Locofoco Coalition In New York Old Hunkerism ami Barnburnerisin have agreed to bo friends, nnd lo make nn equitable distribution ol the marriage delicacies. Dickinson and Van Iluren hive met together, Cmswell and Butler have kissed each other. In the words of Urn Saint of Sandy Hill; " Sweet it tho carol of the early lark, As heavenward rising ho salutes the morn ;-Sweet it the music of church going bell, Which calls the early penitent to prayer; Sweet are the hymns which like soft incense rise To call down kindred blessings from above ; Sweet is the voice of prayer, at noon or eve, And sweet Ihe memories of Sandy Hill, When slated preaching first was there proclaimed ; But sweeter fur, and dearer fur to me, Are Locofocos bound in unity ; And sweeerfar than all of these combined, Arc spoils of office, to a pious mind."

A short time ago they were full nf free-trade ; it was then their favorite doctrine to sell where you can obtain the best price, and buy where you can pur chase cheapest, regardless whether our manufactures rose or fell.

Admirable consistency ! Why was not the doctrine of encouraging Ihe iron trade taught under previous administrations? We find, loo, that the Democracy are becoming strong advoeatet of cotton mills in ihe South ; and we would not be surprised if, ere long, they were to claim the encouragement of domestic manufactures as llieir own peculur and long-chrrished doctnues. ,YitfAn ttanntr. U 'IVlcniph to the Ohio State Journal Dlfliriillies with the French Ambassador In-uniting communications by htm lo the Go Tornment His re cut requested and refused Ilia dismissal I PjTT9DUR.au, Qept ID. Editors Ohio State Journal ; J n ii k r YtH n c nt, the Washington correspondent o( the Philadelphia North American, spesking upon re liable authority of the existing difficulty between our Government and the French Minister, by telegraph from Washington, says: In february, M. V uus sin. the Fronch Minister, pre sented to Mr, Huchnnan, then Secretary of State, a ctairn in behalf of Mr. Porte, a Frenchman residing in Mexico, under the following circumstances: Porto-purchased a quantity of Tobacco told by the agents of llio army of the United States, knowing it to be private property, and not t object to tho rulet of war. The tobacco was afterwards taken by Cot. Childs, and restored to its owner, and the purchase money refund ed lo Porte. Under these circumstances a claim was et up, by the French Minister, for damages being &ie difference between the price at which il was pur ciiused by Porte, and that at which il was subsequent ly sold. A court of inquiry was holdeu, which, on henrpy, decided unanimously against the claim, which, decision was approved by (Jen. Stott Mr. Buchanan having gone out of office wilhoutex-nmining Ih case, it came before the present administration. Tho finding was re-affirmed by Mr. Clayton, Secretary of State, who, in answer to a note of M. Poussin, stated the verdict nf the court, and disapproval. M. Poussin rejoined, in an intemperate manner, charging Col. Childs, in effect, with perjury, and employing other language of insult. On the reception of his note, he was requested to return to Washington being then absent and on his arrival the opportti-ty was presented lo him to withdraw the offensive communication. He withdrew it, and expunged tho . offensive terms, and offered a renewal of the corres poudence, which was accepted. Subsequently M. Poussin presented another note, claiming (he punishment of Commander Carpenter, of the United Slates ship Iris, under Ihe following cir cuiiistancca , Com. Carpenter, while attached to tho blockading squadron, on the const of Mexico, wnt called upon by the captain of the French ship Eugenie, to rescue her from weck. He, with his crew, succeeded after much tabor, and nfterwardt requested the payment of the legal salvnge. This was refused ; whereupon Carpenter returned the vessel lo the cap-lain, after the had lain alongside the Iris for thirty hours. Mr. Clifford, U. S. Mmu rr to Mexico, approved of the conduct of Coin Carpenter. When this subject was submitted to Mr. Clayton, it was refer led tu Secretary Preston, who furnished Carpenter's state tnent of the fncts. Poussin, instead of referring to his government, wrote an insulting letter to the depart ment, in which ho reflected grossly upon llio character and honor of the American Marine. The President of the United Slates then directed the entire correspondence to be laid before the French Government, expecting immediate and voluntary re dress. Bul instead of atonement, M. De Tocqueville, the French .Minister of Foreign Affairs, attempted lo inculpate our government, snd to divide the blame As soon as this information wat received, the President ordered that no further correspondence should be held with M. Poussin, and that lus passports he placed at hit disposal. The foregoing are the facts nt the case, at ttnted by the reporter. Upon thetc he makes the following imperlineiilcoinmeutary, which he might as well have suppressed Lus. Jouknal : " 1 he future is shrouded m doubt. DeTocqueviHe, tho Minister of Foreign affairs, must resign. Poussin must be kicked aside. The r rench Government must apulogixeora repture must ensue. The Administration here, will not advance an inch or retract a word, and if France wishes a war, as there is good reason to suppose she does, the responsibility is on her shoul ders, j Ins case admits uf no diplomatic cobbling. It is a question of honor, in which tho United Slatet can not abandon itt high position. Raragea of the Cotton Worm. Ntw Orlxini, Sept. 17.
